CJ Hamilton was Mansfield Town’s unlikely matchwinner with a rocket shot off his ‘wrong’ foot at Notts County last night for his first competitive goal for the Stags and first goal in 20 months.

A Stags side showing 10 changes won 2-1 in the Checkatrade Trophy group game at neighbours Notts as Hamilton scored for the first time since netting for Gateshead in a 3-2 win at Altrincham on 8th March 2016.

“I did score in pre-season but I can’t remember the last time I scored in a league game,” he smiled.
